Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Florida to condemn (spuriously) Governor Ron DeSantis’s record on education. If Harris and her entourage truly cared about creating more educational opportunities for black students, they would have gone to Georgia to support Mesha Mainor, an embattled black state legislator.

Mainor is the Atlanta-based Democratic assemblywoman so excoriated by her own party for voting for a school-choice bill that she was driven to become a Republican. Mind you, Mainor is no conservative. A few months before her heresy, she sponsored a bill to establish an annual Kamala Harris Day in the Peach State. But once Mainor bucked the Democratic-union pravda on vouchers, the Left disowned her. Politico reported that Josh McLaurin—a white progressive from the suburbs—offered $1,000 to anyone willing to primary her, tweeting: “All I need is a name.” The Georgia Democratic Party called Mainor’s behavior “a stinging betrayal of her constituents.”

Evidence suggests otherwise. African Americans tend to support school choice. In fact, black parents are as supportive of vouchers as black Americans are of the Black Lives Matter movement. According to a Harvard University poll, while just one in three African Americans say that their public schools place “far too little” emphasis on slavery and racism, a majority support charter schools, ESAs, and vouchers. Among white Democrats, vouchers were underwater by 19 percentage points, placing these progressives a whopping 70 points apart from black Americans on the issue. The Democratic Party is catering to the opinions of only some of its constituents on school choice—the white ones.
